Our Kids Need to Wobble While They Work and Play!

Help me give my students a classroom they deserve. Our class has students with a variety of abilities and we use hands-on projects to do many of our lessons. Please help us get wobbly chairs to focus better.

My Project

We are a classroom of unique middle school students who learn in a variety of ways. Some of our students have ADD/ADHD and/or autism where sitting in a seat is difficult. Offering our students a variety of ways to learn as well as some supplies to do our hands-on projects and laminating sheets would be super appreciated. We (teachers and para educators) spend so much of our own money to do many of our projects and functional skills training (laundry, coffee/tea/hot chocolate orders, cooking, etc) but we still fall short. Thank you for your time and money going to a great group of kids.
